“Farewell to a Fading Star”

A green, spider-limbed woman with wild hair and a sinister grin closes in on a terrified man trapped helplessly in her enormous web — Nick Cardy's cover for The Unexpected #129 is the kind of unsettling image that makes you instinctively check the corners of the room. This 1971 DC anthology promises a full 48 pages of chills, teasing four tales including "The Deadly Widow's Web," "Beyond the Shadows," "Menace of the Maze," and "Brain Thief." Cardy's fluid linework gives the spider-woman a genuinely eerie otherworldly quality that sets a perfect tone for an evening of horror comics.
